Project Censored 2003 Underreported Stories
gobbo writes "Project Censored has released its top 25 underreported stories for 2002-3. Everyone needs to find out about these as part of a daily anti-propaganda vitamin, but /.ers should be particularly interested in #6: "Closing Access to Information Technology," in which Arthur Stamoulis reports on how the conglomeration of control over the physical networks threatens access to content. Alternative links suggested for more info: the Center for Digital Democracy, Media Tank, and Free Press. Double plus good I say, who wants all that information anyway!"
I just want to say happy 9/11!
It's kill a sand nigger day.
Hang on, let me find the label "Paid for by neocommunists, Islamofascists, nazis, and France"
Hardly a credible report.
Generally I'm against censorship of any form, but I wish they would censor the large collection of gay negroid kiddie porn Rob Malda uses as his screen saver.
Goddamn! You liberal hippy dope smoking freaks really piss me off!
Almost every story chosen is complete liberal FUD.
Slashdot really seems to get more political as election times draw near. Can't wait to see Howard Dean as the official mascot a year from now.
Screw you guys. I'm going

The site is already slashdotted. Thanks to YOU for allowing it to be read! Michael is a fucking moron, he probably modded you down himself becase HE WEILDS SUPREME POWER!
HEIL MICHAEL!
HEIL MICHAEL!
I have to laugh/cry when I see some uniformed person sobbing about how expensive things are, how access is controlled by the corporations, etc. These are the same folks who claim that its a shame that there is only one newspaper in most markets. Hey if the people would pay for it, then the products would be produced but instead the public wants to buy Starbucks coffee but not pay for broadband cause its too expensive. And now the only institutions that can afford to put out the big bucks to build out and support these new products are big companies (for the most part). Please study basic business management and economics and lots more of what you see today will make sense.
It's all a Liberal political viewpoint!! How could you /.?

No, but when EVERY one of those "censored" stories clearly have the same agenda (ie, being miles left of center), it is fair to assume that the site's reporting is pretty highly slanted. Every one of those was an attack piece with damned shady "evidence". That's not news, that's propaganda.
I mean honestly, that stuff was up there with the conservative AIDS conspiracies from a few years ago. Would you agree that they were just people who were "interested in what happens in the world" ? I doubt it very much.
There's nothing wrong with being liberal, but this site gives non-paranoid-delusional liberals a bad name.
-Looking for a job as a materials chemist or multivariat
Yes. Anything that doesn't result in more profit to corporations is simply "emotionalism." We must not let emotionalism interfere with our quests for oil, money, and power. We must stomp our Jack boots on those who would point out the seedy underbelly of our crusade. Eliminate emotions! We will be profitable!
- Hail to our fearless misleader! Fool speed ahead!
* The socialist antiwar movement.
* Why Bush opponents hope for US casualties in Itaq.
* How current Iraqi militant unrest is largely the result of US policy to allow Iraqi soldiers to return home without being defeated (slaughtered).

Slashdotters dont need an hour if debate before detecting leftist bullshit. If I rubbed Cow Feces on your face, how long would you need to know that it is bullshit? Take a wif, stupid. Bullshit stinks from the moment you get near it.
Current objectives:
How to ruin a flourishing economy -accomplished-
How to manage a bumbling foreign policy; -in progress-
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
If you are trying to make the feeble point that fox is conservative, what a shock.
I would point out that the New York Times has been slanting stories strongly to the left for what, a CENTURY more than Fox has even existed?
Or do you really think project Censored's 'list' is worth more than the tinfoil hat under which it was conceived?
-Styopa
Wow, Al Franken posts on these boards?
/. reached that far. (I mean, to make a statement like this, you CAN'T be from this planet.)
LOL you're a riot.
"there isn't a major media organization in this country that has the slightest hint of a liberal leaning in at least 20 years."
Holy Mother of God, I didn't realize
To say things like "the whole gay marriage issue doesn't exist on the political spectrum" - maybe you need a little more oxygen?
-Styopa
Fuck you and your reactionist hyperbole. Learn a little about a subject before you blather off about it, cocksucker.
"Family Values", my ass. You are the problem that is affecting your children, not whether two gays somewhere want to commit to one another.
for "Whiny Liberal Bitches 101". C'mon, couldn't there be something in there that's actual news as compared to made-up conspiracy crap that's being recycled here? Pierre
What the HELL are you talking about? SUVs, guns,.... what?!
If you think that global politics has to do with a car I don't drive, or that the conservative point of view is concerned solely with tools, you're eiter grossly uninformed or completely insane.
#1: Responsible, logic-minded people already control most of the planet. ............
#2: Laws that disobey the Constitution don't last very long and for the most part I trust the guys and girls in law enforcement to protect us from the baddies (even if they bend the rules a teensy bit.).
#3: UN reports are 99% bullshit just like the UN itself.
#4: Rumsfeld like many members of Bush's staff actually had better, higher paying jobs outside of politics.
#5: Unions are making themselve's extinct by being so corrupt at the top and not standing up for workers.
#6: IT is more free(er -Bushism) today since the citizens of at least two new countries can participate(Afghanistan and Iraq).
#7: Clinton signed a bunch of bullshit in his last year he was too much of a pussy to sign when he would have had to live with the immediate consequences.
#8: Depleted uraniumim is FUCKING DEPLETED URANIUM and the actual chance of harmful effects (impact aside) is small.
#9: Afghanistan is the same dusty shithole it was 100 years ago. Afghanistan never was nor ever will be a paradise but is a least a little better off today.
#10: Africa is a shithole no-one with a brain would want to colonize.
#11: Talibs are nutcases and madrassas should all be bombed into extinction.
#12: Corporations need a death penalty for bad behaviour just like other bad citizens. Corporate death penalty should be viral unto the corporate officers.
#13: The US Military is mostly doing UN and NATO work.
#14: Refugees -listen to old Sam Kennison improv tapes.
#15: Venezuela: coup failed because US left it alone. The people of Venezuela need to try a little harder to get the crooked bastard out of office.
#16: Panama should be annexed.
#17: Clear Channel will not exist in 50 years.
#18: Charter Forest Proposal - beating back tons of unreasonable legislation a little.
#19: U.S. Dollar vs. the Euro -Uhhh, whatever. Think EU civil war within 150 years.
#20: For-Profit Military -I wish.

Michael, do you realize that this is September 11? What a sick gift to the terrorists. Yes, I'm a [neo-]conservative, and whoever supports the hatemongering lies on that site is a neo-Nazi. Was one Holocaust not good enough for you Jew-haters? We need to end the Arab occupation of Jewish land. Can't the Jews have a measly 20k kilometers on this huge planet? You don't you see anything wrong with Arab imperialism. The Islamists are out to conquer the world. It's no secret, but that is the truly under-reported story in the West.
God bless America! Am Yisrael chai! Come, Lord Jesus!
